''above-mentioned'' and ''aforementioned'': difference & position of the main subject (grammar)
1) I've read that ''aforementioned'' is archaic, is it? how does the grammar rule work?
eg
...it's not like the aforementioned phrases.
...it's not like the phrases aforementioned.
2) Which form is the correct?

above-mentioned
above mentioned

Hi Victoria,
Aforementioned is not really archaic but it is highly formal.
"Abovementioned" or "above-mentioned" are correct, although I have seen "above mentioned" used on occasion.
I find that "previously mentioned" is less clumsy and may not be so confusing if the words appear on the opposite page of a book, rather than literally above the text.
